Beautiful Body of Water Lies at
an Flevatinn of 400 Feet on
Shoulder of Mt. Jefferson.
FISHING IS WONDERFUL
Many Points of Interest May Be
Reached, Such as Waldo Gla
cier and Hunt's Cave.
By Doaglaa Hewdl
OUR annual outing this year -was
somewhat different In that the sec
tion we visited can be reached only on
foot or by pack home ' and included a
famous snow mountain with all Its fea
tures for exploration. Then, too, we
realized our wish to go to a section for
fishing entirely out of the reach of auto
mobile or wagon. In fact, no vehicle
could approach within 50 miles of our
camping place.
Mrs. Howell and our daughters, the
Misses -lone and Iris, and the writer,
left Portland July 17 over the Southern
T'aclfic for Albany, where we changed
cars for Detroit, 65 miles east on the
North Kantlam river, "where we found
nice hotel accommodations. We. left De
troit early the next morning with a
mounted guide and three pack horses
heavily loaded with food and equipment
and one saddle horse to be used by any
one of our party of four who might need
n lift In the 20-mile hike to Parmella
lake, our destination. Our guide, Mr.
I 'ndnAr won inmpwhot alcentlcal about
our making lh trip with the aid of
only one saddle horse, so he advised
tin to start an hour or so earlier and
fie would follow with the pack train.
But he did not overtake us until we
were 10 miles out, which brought from
him the admisHion that we were pretty
good walkers for city folks. Two of our
party did not ride at all and Mrs. H.
rode only about five miles.
'From White Htver to' Parmella lake
we passed through one of the finest
bodies of virgin timber on the Ameri
can continent and though the sun was
shining brightly we saw It but few
times on the entire trip., so dense is the
timber. We reached Parmella lake at 6
p. in., giving us time to put up our
t on t and make ample preparations be
fore nightfall. Our camp was among
stately pine, hemlock and fir. a few
steps from the lake and in plain, sight
of eternal snow less than two miles
away.
INTEBESTING RELICS
I,et me digress to say that a few
miles back, beside the trail, we saw two
pieces of personal property, each of
which has an Interesting history. The
first, a saddle, lies about three feet
from the trail and Is apparently In good
condition, but examination shows that
the leather is badly damaged by the
weather. The saddle's story, as told
by our guide. Is this: About ten years
ago a Mr. Brown of near Albany, Or.,
was in this part of , the mountains, rid
ing a fine horse. Meeting a friend, he
alighted, dropped the bridle rein on
the ground. The horse at once began
to feed on the scattered bunch grass.
When the conversation ended and Mr.
Brown turned to remount his horse was
nowhere In Bight. He searched the
surrounding woods for two days, nor as
he had honed, was the horse at hnm
When he reached there. About two
years later a man hunting near Parmella
lake found the skeleton of a horse with
the bridle rein firmly caught In some
bushes, where the noble animal had
died. He carried the saddle to the trail
where It still lies. A little farther on a
wheelbarrow sits beside the trail, a
memento of the defunct railroad that
was partly graded up the Santlam river
many years ago. One day word reached
the large force at work on the. grade
that the promoter had fled and left no
money to pay the wages, and the men
dropped their tools where they stood
and many threw away their blankets In
their eagerness to get back to civiliza
tion as soon as possible.
AlWATS 8TATS THERE
The wheelbarrow is used by some
hikers going up to the lake to carry
their load as far as practicable and some
going the other way use It aB far as
they can. But it is always left stand
ing beside the trail. And we should not
fail to mention a remarkable uninhab
ited cabin three miles back on the trail
from Parmella lake. . The cabin is
equipped with beds and bedding, chairs,
table, cooking utensils, stove, matches,
: a line full of dry socks and tools of
nearly every kind, including two cross
cut saws, a grindstone, axes and even
stovewood, ready cut and piled in a dry
place. If you found this cabin as a
refuge In a rainstorm or snowstorm or
approaching darkness in a strange land
and saw the sign "welcome" above the
3oor and everything Inside arranged so
carefully for your comfort, wouldn't
your faith tn the goodness of the human
heart be renewed? We do not know
who the good man is who provided this
. but we put him down, like Abou Ben
Adhem, "as one who loves his fellow
men."
HA RM F.I.I A LAKE BEAUTIFUL
Parmella lake lies in a wonderful am
phitheatre of mountains, on the south
west shoulder of Alt. Jefferson at an
elevation of 4000 feet. The lake is pure
snow t water supplied by streams from
eternal snows less than three miles dis
' tant As probably the finest fishing lake
. In Oregon it wu known to the early
settlers in the valley and the Indians
were found fishing there by the earliest
white men who visited It. It has never
been stocked with fish by ttate or

government, and yet while hundreds of
people have fished there no man. who
understands trout fishing, has ever been
disappointed. The, writer, who Is the
commonest kind of a fisherman, caught
the limit. 60 fish, day after day. using
nothing but a fly and any kind of a
fly at that. There are four kinds of
trout in the lake, cutthroat, red sides,
brook and salmon trout, and In the
creeks there are dolly vardens and a
very dark trout which we were unable
to Identify.
Durinp the summer months the lake
has no visible outlet, although the con
stant inflow equals a small river In
volume. Karller in the season the sur
plus water escapes at the western end
through what Is now the the dry bed of
Parmelia creek. It is known that the
lake has a subterranean outlet. While
the creek at the lake is now dry, 300
yards below It issues through the rocks
a bold, rushing stream.
Many years ago a mighty avalanche
swept down the steep western side of Mt.
Jefferson and carried a great number of
vast trees Into the lake, mowingHhem off
even with the ground, leaving their roots
undisturbed. Many .great trees, six to
eight feet In diameter were broken In
two by the avalanche as though they
were wheat straws. Of these trees
some are floating on the surface of the
lake and many are sunk to the bottom.
CLIMB 18 DIFFICULT
On July 25 the writer and two
daughters and Mr. and Mrs. Henderson
of Detroit, climbed Mt Jefferson. Leav
ing camp at 7 a. m. we reached the top
at 2:30 p. m. Leaving the top at 3:30
p. m. we reached camp at 6 :30 p. m. We
climbed by way of the dry run and slid
ing mountain, leaving the Milk Creek
canyon and old crater to the left The
sliding mountain Is most difficult to
climb. There Is practically no solid foot
hold from Us bottom to the top. The
cruel toil of climbing the Matterhorn of
America is fully compensated for by the
glorious view, of the visible world from
Its top.
There are many points of interest that
can be reached from Parmella lake. Be
sides Jefferson park on the north, there
Is a beautiful park of grass and
Alpine trees with occasional snow banks
at an elevation of about 7000 feet just
above the lake on the west side of the
mountain. Then south of Waldo glazier
lies Hunt's Cove, which Is probably the
most beautiful national park In Oregon.
The cove lies' at an elevation of 5000
feet and contains probably 1000 acres.
Delightful savanas of green grass and
myfiads of flowers of many kinds and
every color, bordered by trees of fault
less form, are arranged with such per
fect grace and harmony as would fill
the heart of ft landscape artist with
delight. Many sparkling streams, three
beautiful lakes and a dozen or more
waterfalls idd greatly to the natural
beauty of tjhe cove.
SETTING IS PERFECT
One of the falls at the upper lake is
so high (probably 1000 feet) that one of
our party looking far, far up among
the Alpine trees, said the water seemed
to come from the very heavens. The
setting of the cove is perfect. A per
pendicular mountain 1000 feet higher
extends like a rim three fourths of the
way around the cove In an almost per
fect circle. A dozen or more other lakes
are within easy walking distance of
Parmella and the wonderful Breltenbush
hot springs 'are also accessible. And
then the Milk creek glazier and Its
mighty canyon coming seemingly out of
the heart of the great mountain. Is un
surpassed for magnificence and gran
deur. One will be awe-struck at the
gieat rocks, weighing thousands of tons.
which were tossed about .like eggshells
by the mighty torrents ages ago. Mount
Jefferson is a lava mountain and in
some great eruption in the past rocks
weighing hundreds of tons have been
thrown to the distance of five miles.w
INDIANS NEVF.B HURRIED
The trails through this s-sction are
mostly of Indian origin and very old.
The forest service keeps them open for
Its own and the public's use. The In
dian was never in a hurry to get any
where and made his trails along the
lines of least resistance, so that the
idea of the shortest practical line be
tween two given points is In no way re
lated to their construction. The trails
are for the most part well worn and
plainly marked, so that the wayfaring
man though blind could hardly lose one.
The writer one very dark night traveled
14 miles on the Marlon and Parmella
lake trail and never once step off it.
Any woodsman knows that there Is no
darkness like a dark night In heavy
timber. There is one exception to the
Indian making crooked trails. He gen
erally makes It almost straight up the
side of a mountain, instead of zigzag,
as the white man would make Jt.
Near Parmelia lake many years before
the white men came a great battle took
place between the Indians west of the
mountains and those .east of the moun
tains over the rich hunting, fishing and
huckleberry grounds in the Mount Jef
. ferscn country. Tradition says the bat
tle lasted four days. Both sides claimed
the victory but after the battle the

Apartment Adventures
Our Roof Garden
By Herbert M. Davidson
Our roof garden is the haven of refuge for dwellers in our apartment
house.
It is a wonderful place, this roof, especially in respect to variety of
flora., One sits happily in the shade watching children at their play among
the nasturtium bushes. Truly, an Idyllic life. Pastoral, without being
messy. We have christened the roof garden our Tulleries.
Grandmothers go up on the roof to escape the realization that they are
ending their days in an apartment house. They sit in a swing and knit
and pretend they are In their own garden and that the boards beneath
their feet are a path that leads up around'the corner to the great house
their children have built for them.
Children go up on the roof to escape persons who are always saying to
them, "Hush! can't you remember there is somebody living below us?"
Jim, from the second apartment down the corridor, and Josephine,
from the floor above, go Up on the roof to escape separating walls.
The landlady -beg her dear pardon, "the manager" goes up on the
roof ostensibly to water nasturtiums, but really to escape the necessity of
scolding the janitor.
Married folk go up on the roof singly, to smoke pipes or dry hair;
together, to escape visitors from the home town.
Soon cold weather will deprive us of our retreat. Soon the nasturtium
season will be over and winter will make impossibly sad the sight of our
roof garden. There will be no escape from steam heat and the unwashed
dishes.
Then we shall have t6 purchase another potted plant.
western Indians still held the Mount
Jefferson country and did until the
whites intervened and annihilated the
western Indians, thus giving the eastern
Indians what they could not win by war.
And to this day the Indians pour ovjr
the. mountains, from the east into this
section for hunting, fishing and berry
picking.
Portland Secretary
Is Warmly Praised
In "Foyer and Hut"
"Foyer and Hut." published by the
Seattle T. M. C.VA., has a special story
in its latest issue concerning the work
of W. W. Dillon of Portland, as an
overseas secretary. His rapid rise In
the important field to' which he was
assigned is noted and his entire career
"over there" is praised. . ,
"Nearly every state In the Union had
men in the famous 42nd division, better
a
V:
known as the Rainbow division," says
the story. "And the Y. M. C. A. had
secretaries from nearly every section of
the country in the division so they could
look after the men from their districts.
One of these men was W. W. Dillon of
Portland.
"Dillon isn't a man to shout his ex
periences from the housetops, but It is
merely a matter of record that his wrist
was broken when a house fell on him
In an air raid. Later on he was made
divisional secretary of the 77th division
in recognition of his services with the
42nd. A divisional secretary had all the
way from a dozen to fifty secretaries
under him, as well as the "Y" equip
ment to transport and handle the goods.
"Later on he went up another step
when he was made personnel secretary
of the third region and this time he
went through the Argonne drive with
the boys. There were no shells or other
death dealing instruments that Fritz
sent over with his name engraved on
them so he came through hale and
hearty. Dillon is back in the Rose City
again and on his regular job."

JOHN RANDALL, DUNN, a member of
the board of lectureship of the
mother church, the First Church of
Christ Scientist in Boston, Mass., de
livered a lecture on "Christian Science;
the Understanding of Love," at The
Auditorium, Sunday afternoon, Septem
ber 14.
He said in part:
"We hear, even at this enlightened
moment the most extraordinary state
ments about Christian Science. Just re
cently a man told me that he under
stands that Christian Science teaches a
man in financial difficulties to "imagine
he has a million dollars, and his worries
will be over.' Then, too, there is a wide
ly proclaimed fallacy that the Christian
Scientist does absolutely nothing for
a sick man, and In addition to such
negligence makes matters worse by bid
ding the sufferer to imagine himself
well, and he will be well. One hardly
need say to a body of thinking men
and women that such concepts are ab
solutely erroneous, and sound as absurd
to the student of Christian Science as
to the outsider. It will probably be of
interest to many to know that possibly
no word occurs less frequently In the
Christian Science literature, or In the
conversation of the informed student
of this science, than the word 'imagine.'
In the Christian Science text book we
find that It appears only five times.
A Christian Scientist Is more concerned
with the little word 'know.' for he
learns that it is only that which he
knows that does things ; in fact, that
which he knows of God constitutes his
real selfhood.
SCIENCE AND CHRISTIANITY
"The word know is In the Latin, sclo,
and bases our word science. And we
may well marvel at that remarkable
combination of words Christian and
science hitherto considered as far
apart as the poles. Now the words
Christian Science can mean only this :
demonstrable, provable. Christian or
spiritual knowledge. Thus the student
of Christian Science takes the stand
that Jesus' teachings are not mystical,
and should not be capable of hundreds
of different Interpretations; that they
are based upon changeless law, and
are as provable as propositions In
mathematics. I wish that all who have
felt disturbed over the ChristianScien
tists' conceit of the words and works of
the Savior might read that wonderful
chapter in the Christian Science text
book. Science and Health, with Key
to the Scriptures," entitled "Atonement
and Eucharist.' These page breathe a
spirit of the most tender and reverent
love for and appreciation of Christ
Jesus, and show that Christian Science
is teaching the divinity of Christ, teaches
also the divinity of spiritual man. I can
think of no writings aside from the
Scripture which set forth higher ideals
and incite to holier Christian living than
this remarkable chapter.
DEALING WITH OBJECTIONS
"The difficulty, of course, In dealing
with most objections to Christian Science
Is that the objectors have seldom lf
ever read the text book "Science and
Health," or other authorized literature, j
Consequently their fund of Information j
upon the actual teachings of this sys- .
tern is as doubtful as was the man's j
who said he knew that the story or
Robinson Crusoe is in the Bible, but
was not sure whether It was In the
Old or New Testament! Others read
Christian "Science literature determined
to fine therein unchristian and unortho
dox sentiments, and emerge from their
unhappy tasks with a few statements
carefully detached from their contexts,
which prove to their complete satisfac
tion that Christian Science is the work
of satan. For example, a minister In
one of the Southern states some time
ago arose in his pulpit and solemnly
announced to his congregation that he
would read them a passage from the
Christian Science text book, which
would prove to them what a dangerous
and unchristian volume It is. He then
read these words: 'Prayer is an evil."
A few of his broadmlnded listeners felt
that something had been omitted by
the reverend gentleman, and took pains
after to investigate. Upon reading for
themselves in 'Science and Health,', they
found the paragraph :
"Prayer is not to be used as a con
fessional to cancel sin. Such an error
would impede true religion. Sin is for
given only as it is destroyed by Christ
Truth and Life. If prayer nourishes
the belief that sin is canceled, and that
man is made better merely by praying,
prayer is an evil." ("Science and Health.'
page 5.)
DISCOVERER OF SCIENCE
"'Our critics then turn their atten
tion to the discoverer and founder of
Christian Science, If Indeed they have
not begun their criticisms with objec
tions to her. Are not the carumny, the
ajjuse and criticism that are hurled at
this Christian gentlewoman surprising?
Gentlewoman she was ; such she must
have been to pursue her loving, forgiv
ing, helping pilgrimage to the splendid
milestone of ninety years! Such must
she have been to turn through her
writings an army of men and women
and children to the earnest study of the
Bible to find there the panacea for all
the Ills of earth. One cannot help won
dering at the world's slow reception of
her message, at the world's reluctance
to ascribe honor to the woman who
found the way of Life. To Illustrate:
Suppose that an emigrant party on the
hot plains has exhausted Its supply of
water, and weakened, sick and dis
heartened, feels that further journeying
( is futile. Suppose that one of its num
ber, a woman, disappears from the party
and bravely starts toward some distant
hills. Some time after she returns with
strong step and clear eye and says joy
fully, 'I've found water, water! Up in
those hills is a stream clear as .crystal
and flowing abundantly. Come." all of
you, come and see !' Can you imagine
one of that parched, thirsty number say
ing, 'Well, I'd be more Inclined to be
lieve it If a man Instead of a woman
had found It !' or 'How do we know
that you have found water? You just
imagine you have seen it' or' again, 'If
you did find water, certainly somebody
else told you where It was!" No, we
could not Imagine such a reception of
the message that the woman delivered.
What could be easily pictured is that
whole enfeebjed company s eagerly,
trustfully and gratefully following that
woman discoverer to the newly found
waters. Yet when Mary Baker Eddy
after years of retirement, searching of
the Scriptures and submitting her dis
covery to the most practical tests, sent
forth? to the hungering and thirsting
sons of men her work, "Science and
Health," containing the Joyous message
that earth's sufferers need only ascend
the mount of spiritual understanding
to find the waters of Truth which heal
sickness and sin and sorrow behold
the unreasonable, the senseless oppos
ition of many who possibly are sadly In
kneed of healing themselves, and who
allow such opposition to cheat them out
of the blessings which would surely be
theirs if" they too would only climb the
hill and drink.
INVOICED CRY FOR GOD
"And how sorely does earth need to
day this message of Christian Science!
As a French writer has clearly put it.
'The ceaseless, unrest of this weary
world is the unvoiced cry for God." Is
there no physician there? Is there no
better way of healing the sick than the
constantly changing, exprlmenting, now
succeeding, now falling methods of
material medicine? Is there no hope
for the wounded soldiers Whose in
juries are pronounced by the medical
profession incurable? Is there nothing
to comfort the sorrowing hearts of
those whose dear ones have gone from
their sight? Is there no solution
for the great economic problems of the
world, of capital and labor, of the re
lations of men and nations? Yes,
Christian Science says to the afflicted,
perplexed and storm-tossed children, of
earth, there is balm in Gilead there is
a way out of mortal discords, and it is
not a new way. It is the old, old way
of spiritual understanding taught and
demonstrated by Christ Jesus, but
missed all these years because men have
had eyes which have seen not
HA8 CHRISTIANITY FAILED!
" 'But' says someone, 'have we not
had nearly nineteen hundred years of
Christianity, and are 'not the great
problems of being still far from a sol
ution?' The only answer to such a
query is a definite No ! We have not
had nineteen centuries of Jesus' Chris
tianity. Far from it! It is a far cry
indeed from the practical, regenerating,
healing work of Jesus to the inert, un
fruitful concept of Christianity that
most of us have had. Think you that
this world would have been rocked by
the convulsions of a great war, or
swept by the terrors of an epidemic had
Christians all these years healed the
sick, preached heaven at hand, loved as
Jesus loved, and cast out demons as he
commanded? We suffer today, not be
cause of an inadequate Christianity, but
from sheer lack of Christianity.
JESTS' DEFINITION OF A
CHRISTIAN
"What is the Master's definition of a
Christian? Can words be plainer than
these : Herein is my Father glorified,
that ye bear much fruit. So shall ye
be my disciples.' Then he leaves no
doubt as to the nature of the fruit when
he says (as recorded In the sixteenth
chapter of Mark) 'And these signs shall
follow them that believe. In my name
shall they cast out devils; they shall
speak with new tongues ; they . shall
take up serpents, and if they drink any
deadly thing, it shall not hurt them ;
they shall lay hands on the sick, and
they shall recover.' And again, In the
fourteenth chapter of John, "Verily,
verily I say unto you. he that believeth
on me, the works that I do shall he do
also ; and greater works than these
shall, he do, because I go unto my
Father.' This then Is the unchanging
test of discipleship ; it is not, 'What is
your belief?" but 'What is the fruitage?
What are your works?" and 'Have you
learned to love?" For once again does
the great Teacher leave us with no
doubt as to the nature of a Christian.
He says, 'By this shall all men know
that ye are my disciples, if ye have love
one to another.'
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
PRACTITIONERS
"Possibly the chapter in the Christian
Science textbook to which a sufferer
most eagerly turns is that entitled
'Christian Science Practice," for in It
Mrs. Eddy sets forth, simply and di
rectly, the steps to be taken in the heal
ing of the sick 'and the reforming of the
sinner. This chapter begins with a re
markable pen picture of the consistent
Christian Scientist If a seeker after
truth has any doubt as to the qualifi
cations of a practitioner, let him read
the first pages of this chapter and then
see If the one to whom he has applied
for help measures up to this standard.
Mrs. Eddy indicates that the Christian
Scientist who will be able to heal the
sick is the one who has first cast moral
evils out of himself, for 'heal he cannot'
she writes, "while his own spiritual bar
renness debars him from giving drink to
the thirsty
yea, wltile mental
penury chills his faith and understand
ing.' (Science and Health, page 366).
Therefore if you have encountered a
person calling himself a Christian Sci
entist who is not learning the lessons of
humility, of tenderness and compassion,
who unlovingly criticizes his neighbor
and is a gosslper or talebearer, one
whose thought seems mercenery or one
who is not loyal to and abiding y The
Manual of The Mother Church, avoid
such an one ! He or she is not even
touching the hem of the garment of the
healing Christ. Mrs. Eddy writes in an
other place (page 235) "Better suffer a
doctor infected with smallpox to attend
you than to be treated mentally by one
who does not obey the requirements ofl
divine Science." The Christian Science
movement is not a restful place for the
spiritual pretender. The question, "But
should not just such persons who are
seeking healing find healing?" may be
asked. Sooner or later, 'Suffering or'i
science' (a. & ll., p. 296) will surely
lead them to the recognition and prac
tice of genuine Christian Science when
hypocricy must yield to sincerity, and
high-sounding words to loving Christian
deeds.
"BE NOT AFRAID!"
"Farther along in this chapter on
Christian Science practice, we find an
illuminating portion under the sub-head
'Mental Treatment Illustrated." And
this is one of the first statements to be
seen here : 'Christian scientific practice
begins with Christ's keynote or harmony
'Be Not Afraid!' (Page 410.) As usual
Mrs. Eddy goes to the root of the situa
tion at the outset, for is it not generally
conceded that mankind's greatest devil,
its most persistent tormentor, is fear?
Is it not becoming more and more ap
parent to thinking men and women that
the dread influenza nightmare out of
which the nations have emerged, was
the result primarily of a world-wide
dissemination of fear, on the wings of
suggestion? Small wonder it is that no
microscope has been able to detect the
so-called influenza germ. Look for it
in the mental realm, instead of the phy
sical. Its name is fear, and Christian
Scientists have proven correctness of
this statement In the speedy healing of
thousands of cases during the recent
panic, when, through spiritual under
standing, they have been able ftrst to i
subdue and thenxto eradicate the action
of fear. In numberless instances, also.
Christian Scientists passed through the
so-called epidemic unharmed and un
to nched when the prevailing fear was
allowed no lodgment in their mental
homes. Now the discovery that the
basic error of mortality is fear, and the
removal of that fear, are two separate
and distinct propositions. Nothing Is
sadder than the spectacle of a man tell
ing another not to be afraid, and not
being able to show him why he should
not be afraid.
REUEDY FOR FEAR
"Mrs. Eddy goes to he Bible to find
the medicine for fear, and writes as fol
lows: The Apostle John says: There
is no fear in love, but perfect love cast
eth out fear. He that feareth is not
made perfect in love." Here is a defin
ite and inspired proclamation of Christ
ian Science. (Page 410). Now it is
self evident that the word love" used
here n)ust be closely allied in meaning
to the word "know" or "understand Can
one love that which he does not know
or understand? Haven't we all heard
such statements as this: 'You will sure
ly love him when you begin to see and
know him as he really Is.' John's state
ment must certainly mean that a perfect
understanding or knowledge will cast
out fear. But an understanding of what?
It cannot be an understanding of any
thing material, for sometimes those
most learned In material medicine or
hygiene, or the so-called material
sciences, are the greatest victims of
fear. Again, the love that overcomes
fear cannot be that commonly desig
nated as human affection, for may not
a mother's love for her child, for in
stance, be literally impregnated with
fear? The same may be said of all
merely human love or knowledge. The
love arfd understanding of that which is
infinitely above materiality the perfect
understanding of God and man's rela
tion to htm, must be the one and only
panacea for fear. God and man's love
therefore. Is not from without, but love
within the love which one has for all
that Is true and pure and good. This is
the love that sustains, rules, governs,
and controls. In short. It Is the love
that Is divine principle.
CORRECT VIEW OF MAN
"Possibly the greatest statement In the
Christian Science text book a state
ment fraught with tremendous possi
bilities for the race, is this, which we
find on page 475 of 'Science and Health."
Mrs. Eddy here shows us that Jesus
did not 'look through a glass, darkly'
did not let his. gaze rest upon this ma
terial, Adam-sense of things. When
confronted with the picture of sinning,
maimed, sick and Imperfect humanity,
he put the glasses of material sense far
from him and, to quote the text book,
'beheld in Science the perfect man, who
appeared to him where sinning mortal
appears to mortals. In this perfect man
the Savior saw God's own likeness, and
this correct view of man healed the sick.'
Have we not in this passage the clearest
explanation of that understanding, that
love which will cast out fear? What
can the statement 'Love thy neighbor
as thyself mean, but that we muBt
gain the correct sprttlual view of our
neighbor see our neighbor as we strive
to see ourselves, as the spiritual image
of God described in the first chapter
of Genesis. When we 'gain this correct
view of man. when we realize that the
true selfhood of man and his neighbor
Is spiritual, not material, this love, this
understanding begins to destroy Ignor
ance and fear, and thus wipes out sick
ness and sin, destroys misunderstand
ings, hate and all manner of discord.
GRATEFUL FOR SOME PROGRESS
"No student of Christian Science
claims to be able to do all of the works
the mighty works of Christ Jesus. He j
realizes that he has enrolled himself In
the great school room of Spirit, and
that today he is only in the A, B, Cs
of' spiritual demonstration. If he is
not able to walk on the watpr and raise
the dead, as did the great Teacher, he
Is grateful that he is at least making
some progress, for he Is certainly
healthier, happier and better morally
than he was before beginning his study,
and as years go by and he finds that
he understands better how to bring the
healing message to his neighbor. Neyer
should he allow the argument of discour
agement to obtain lodgment In his men
tal home, for It Is as futile to speak of
failure In connection with the Science
of Christianity as with the science of
numbers. There is not, there never can
be, a failure with the divine principle
of being. Suppose we have two glasse.s
of equal height and capacity. Fill one
with water, the other with quicksilver.
Then begin to pour the quicksilver Into
the water. What will happen? Every
drop of quicksilver thtft goes Into the
other glass displaces an equal amount of
water. It never falls. When yo.u have
completely transferred the quicksilver
into the other receptacle you will find
that the w-ater has all been eliminated.
Now call the glass of water the material
consciousness, and let the quicksilver
represent spiritual sense. Every time a
spiritual Idea, a correct view of being
is poured Into the material conscious
ness, a corresponding amount of wrong
thinking, fear, Ignorance and sin goes
out. That always happens. It never
fails to happen. The text book tells
us that 'the way to extract error from
mortal mind is to pour in truth through
flood-tides of love.' (S. & H. P. 20.) The
trouble with many of us Is that we for
get that this understanding, makes us
virtually the master of circumstance,
and so many times we cease pouring.
And of course when the pouring in of
the quicksilver of truth is stopped, the
water of material belief remains undis
turbed. Let us, therefore, realize the!
certain and never-failing effect of the
truth of being and keep on pouring!
Then surely will we witness the fulfill
ment of Malachi's beautiful promise
that divine love will open the windows
of heaven and pour us out a blessing
'that there shall not be room enough
to receive It.'

"There is no record In history, so far .
as we know, of the death of the Apostle j
John. Certain it is that, 'he whom
Jesus loved." who caught the spiritual
sense of the Master's message as did
none other of Jesus' students, rose above
the argument of age and decrepitude,
and walked with men long after the rest

Christiana 'who -were eager to see and

him to go on, but he said no more. Then
they importuned him to continue. Again

that love divine, which, looking through
the Adam-mist and dispersing it, see

Mrs. Proctor Restored to Health
by Tanlac After Forty Years'
Suffering.
"It's the honest truth, Tanlac has
relieved all my troubles after I had
tried everything else I hud ever heard
of for the past 40 years without any
result" was the remarkable statement
recently made by Mrs. M. K. Proctor,
717 First street, lxis Angeles, Cal.
"When I think of how much money
I spent on different medtiiiu's iind how
little Tanlac cost to make me well, It
Beems almost loo good to be true," she
continued. "I had an awful time with
stomsch trouble. Vlverythlng I ate
would form gas and ' bloat me up 'til
the pain was almost more than I could
bear. My heart would palpitate wo
I could hardly get my brfath and often
times 1 would actually turn nurnla In
the face. I'mIiib would extend all over
my lungs and under my shoulder blades
and nothing I did would relieve me.
As a result I became a nervous wreck
and was often unable to sleep for days
at a time.
"One evening 1 read In tin paper
about a lady who was relieved of the
same trouble I had by taking Tanlac.
so I got a bottla and started taking It
Well. sir. 1 never was so surprised In
my life. A little while after I began
on Tanlac 1 noticed the gau stopped
forming on my stomach and I found
I could eat without distress afterwards.
I have taken four bottles now and tha
change Is remarkable. I can eat any
thing, even meat. I sleep fine all night
long and get up in the morning rested
snd full of energy. 1 don't have any
trouble at all now. In fact I'm In
better condition today than I Iihvb been
in 40 years and I'm feeling belter every
day. I'm doing my own housework
again and I'm certainly glad of this
opportunity to recommend the medlclnt
that has done' so much for me."
